Danfoss Power Solutions Aeroquip by Danfoss EC881 Dynamax hose is a two-wire braided hose designed for higher reliability and extended service life, reducing maintenance time, costs, and waste.
According to the company, the EC881 hose outperforms standard EN 857 type 2SC hose specifications with a 35 percent higher pressure rating, 26 percent higher operating temperature, eight times more abrasion resistance, 67 percent greater flexibility (⅓ SAE bend radius), and five times more impulse life (1 million qualified impulse cycles). With its higher pressure capabilities, EC881 hose can replace heavy, rigid four-wire spiral hose in certain applications. Braided hose is much more flexible than spiral hose, which may enable OEMs to reroute and reduce hose assembly lengths, contributing to further cost savings. Braided hose is also lighter in weight than spiral hose, which reduces the overall weight of the machine, improving fuel efficiency.
